East India Company

Assumed as exit scammed – Mutisig Marketplace – Uses 2-of-3, timelock transactions to allow easy release if our market goes offline. East India Company is a full featured marketplace originally created for the European region – went international.

Caveat: I’m not the type of person that goes arround qq’ing / raging at the drop of a pin.

Issue:
I have had similar experiences to other reviewers. This isn’nt the first time I’ve used EIC but its the last unless my issue gets resolved (this isn’t looking likely – 4 weeks and counting).

Basically I placed an order with a vendor, moved the coins into escrow and a few days later the order was “cancelled”, then all the order history about it was removed but the coins ~0.6 were not returned.

I tried contacting the vendor first to see if they could shed any light on it, no response. Then I contacted the “support”, again no response. Its been more than a reasonable amount of time now and i’ve clearly been scummed on.

TLDR:
The system is broken or they are actively stealing coins. AVOID and find a new market!

So, the site was offline, and something hasn’t been working properly as i read, anyway i sent some bitcoins to the wallet.. First i thought they were gone, but after 3 days they appeared and i bought something. (Would be nice if Heissenberg would check for offers)

Now this is happening all the little things said come together like a puzzle.

Whenever you asked about the support he just answered please understand our guys are having holiday. Come on I knew that this would happen weeks before.

Someone who developed his business for long term will come everyday online even tho its holiday time. I was working in my company as well during christmas. Why? Because i built it i don’t see it as work.

These guys are literally rats and probably some kids for the Netherlands since their staff and workers the most were from!

Like others already said, choose for the market who has proved its self like outlaw. It has not the best lay out. But in my opinion the safest en best way to buy your stuff. And don’t forget Dream, Valhalla and Python.

I can confirm that EIC is up again, which is a good thing. However, the Darknets being as they are, I really think market site admins would do themselves and their customers a huge favor by posting some message somewhere (here, reddit, on the front page of the market) when their site is down for more than a few hours. (days, in this case) Most of us have money in escrow and escrow requires trust. An unannounced downtime damages that trust.

Although East India company is listed here as being up, they have actually been DOWN for more than 48h now. The log-in page still works, but visitors get a blank page after logging in, nothing more. Since there is no message whatsoever about maintenance or status, I fear this is another one that bites the dust, pocketing the bitcoins of their customers, also being referred to as an exit scam.

Best market and the admins are the best they help you with everything.
The vendors are great to and one of my best vendors Snoopdrug having a little vacation now, but has the best stealth out there! :)

The weird thing is I can log in, BUT when I log in there’s a white screen and I think that’s for everyone a problem to so can any Admin or someone who knows something about it reply please.

Some market instead of making their own market better is trying to smear EIC. It is really petty and they should spend the time working on their own market and implementing good 2-of-3 multisig like EIC did.

Alphabay lost 50+ BTC when they let users make orders without any money, and there are cases of every major market losing some money. The important thing is that they have cold storage and can use profits to recover losses.

You say EIC wasnt hacked, yet when you click on the EIC had security issues icon, it links to an article BY DEEPDOTWEB that says “EAST INDIAN MARKET HACKED – 30 BTC GONE”. And dont compare yourself to alphabay, when they had “bugs”, they didnt get a market warning so obviously theres more to it then just a bug. Stay away from this shill market.

If they lost 30 BTC to a bug then they are incompetent even if they covered the losses… when the losses are 300 BTC and they wont be able to cover it you wont be tooting their horns. Market covered the losses with escrow funds and is running like MtGox… like a fractional reserve. Stay away.
